703e5a2ce2 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-25 14:09:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be 
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.

d92ccbf1ac * Test whether sequences of patches work. 2010-11-17 18:01:37 +00:00

1a211d812f * Oops. 2010-11-17 17:54:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a4f0365b2d * When checking whether a patch is applicable, for efficiency, use 
`nix-store -q --hash' to get the hash of the base path rather than
  `nix-hash'.  However, only do this for estimating the size of a
  download, not for the actual substitution, because sometimes the
  contents of store paths are modified (which they shouldn't, of
  course).
 2010-11-17 17:41:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3d38a49840 * In the download size indication, take binary patches into account. 
Hopefully this doesn't slow things down too much.

bf658f016f * Test that download sizes are shown correctly. 2010-11-17 14:39:02 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths 
will approximately require.

06699d4219 * Store the NAR size in the manifest. 2010-11-17 12:57:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5693b8a7e2 * nix-push: no need to compute the NAR hash, since the Nix database 
already has it (`nix-store -q --hash').
 2010-11-17 12:51:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e60c962fb8 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'. 2010-11-17 12:40:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1db6259076 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo(). 2010-11-17 12:08:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the 
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.

26def5392f * Document Boehm GC support. 2010-10-29 14:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3d71c8013e * Use pkgconfig to locate the Boehm GC (as suggested by Ludo), if 
--enable-gc is given.
 2010-10-29 14:00:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage 
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
 2010-10-29 13:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the 
latter.

e11e6fb1c6 * Handle out of memory condition. 2010-10-28 12:29:40 +00:00

11ccd44e95 * We need Bison 2.4 now. 2010-10-24 21:48:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all 
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
 2010-10-24 20:09:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups. 
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
 2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This 
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
 2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black 
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).

a247d20604 * Fix compiling without Boehm. 
* Fix the stats.
 2010-10-23 22:58:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
02934b1200 * Regression test for listToAttr's behaviour if an attribute name 
occurs multiple times.

b2ba62170c * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table. 2010-10-23 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info. 
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.
 2010-10-23 20:07:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This 
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.

cf7e645a48 * Regression test for __overrides. 2010-10-22 15:15:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores 
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
 2010-10-22 14:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
76feaf016a * Keep some more stats. 2010-10-20 15:48:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix 
expression evaluator.
 2010-10-20 11:38:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b0c11cda7e * Evaluator garbage collection branch. 2010-10-20 09:08:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
64fd29855a * Wrap deleteFromStore() in a transaction. Otherwise there might be a 
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
  resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
  constraint failed".  (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.

8dadcede65 nix manual: fix 'install' -> 'uninstall' in garbage collection section of introduction 2010-10-06 19:04:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7119d38287 * In the referrers test, lower the nesting depth from 2500 to 1000 to 
prevent hitting a stack overflow bug in the garbage collector.
 2010-10-04 22:26:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers, 
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Without this, on 
  OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then 
  the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct 
  stat", or vice versa.

  This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.

95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
36a23e86b6 * "type -P" isn't portable. 2010-10-04 15:50:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
bfa6ee7d91 * Don't use SSH's `-tt' flag because it doesn't seem to work 
on OpenSolaris when using connection sharing.  Instead have
  the remote side check for disconnection and kill the process 
  group when that happens.
 2010-10-04 12:30:46 +00:00

71dfe4b90b * Sync with the trunk. 2010-10-04 11:44:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
450837bcc8 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an 
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception.  We need to ignore
  write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
  to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
  unexpectedly.
